Loc: Rock Cave

An outcropping of sandstone with a large cave entrance carved into its face. The dark is cool and inviting, in comparison to the harsh sun; or warm and inviting, in comparison to the frigid night.

Inside is a network of tunnels. Near the entrance lies a discarded, human-sized exoskeleton: eight legs, two pincers, and a wicked stinger. Venturing further leads to a scattering of bones, and eventually a skittering of legs. Any venturing within the complex are met with the source — a gigantic scorpion, thrice the size of a human.

The scorpion's den lies at the heart of the complex. Treasures once carried by prey can be found here; roll one treasure per level of Depth.

Giant Scorpion

STR 18, DEX 10, WIL 6, 18 hp, Armor 3.

Driven to protect its lair and feed.

Attacks causing less than d12 are impaired. Attacks with pincers (d8). Anyone taking Critical Damage from a pincer attack is grabbed and stabbed with the scorpion's stinger: d8 damage + STR save vs. poison (d8 DEX).
